Tekapo-Mt Cook-Twizel

We spent two days in Twizel, located south of Geraldine. On the way we stopped in Tekapo, seeing the Church of the Good Shepherd and the famous dog statue. We based ourselves in Twizel, and on the day of our 2nd wedding anniversary went to Aoraki Mt Cook for the day and did a lovely walk to Kea Point. Sadly, the mountain was not clear, but we were able to see Mt Sefton and look around the excellent visitor’s centre. After dinner we went to Omarama, and experienced their hot pools. These hot pools were incredible – individual wood fired hot pools, each located outside under the stars where we could watch the sun set across the water onto the hills. A great way to spend our anniversary. If you are in the area check them out – http://www.hottubsomarama.co.nz/attractions_and_activities.html
